SinceNovember 11 2007, when the last official aXXo torrent was uploaded, ithas been awfully quiet. Some people assumed that aXXo had got himselfcaught while others claimed he had an accident. After a while it becameclear that he simply decided to take some time off.

An administrator on Darkside RG, the official home of aXXo explainedat the time: “aXXo told us that he has decided to take a break, so youwill not see new aXXo torrents anywhere for a while. Please show yoursupport by keeping his torrents alive until he comes back, as always,he will post here first when he does.”

Now, after nearly four months of absence aXXo has returned, anduploaded his first .torrent on Darkside RG and other torrent sites.It’s the news that many BitTorrent users have been waiting for.

Marking his comeback with the movie “I Am Legend” could be seen assymbolic. Before aXXo decided to take a break, an estimated one millionpeople downloaded his DVDrips every month. The search term aXXo wasundoubtedly the most popular at many torrent sites. Although there areconflicting opinions in respect of the quality of his work, there canbe no dispute that he was, and still is, very popular indeed.

While some see him in an almost religious light, others have been quick to take advantage of his popularity for nefarious purposes, or have used the aXXo brand to draw attention to their own releases, like KLAXXON did.

Even though some see him as a legend, aXXo certainly isn’t withouthis critics but whatever the position, his popularity isindisputable…..along with his modesty
